I’m Michael Khan Tal, an electronics specialist and systems designer with a passion for building smart, sustainable tech that actually makes a difference especially in tough, real-world environments. My background spans everything from fault diagnostics and preventative maintenance to embedded systems and workflow design. I thrive where reliability matters most.

Lately, I’ve been focused on smart waste management solutions in South Africa, blending sensor tech, 3D modeling, and user-centered design to rethink how cities handle urban waste  with a deep commitment to ethical, inclusive engineering that ensures the tech we build truly serves the communities it's meant for.

Whether I’m refining AI annotation workflows or leading a team through a high-stakes repair job, I bring precision, clarity, and a collaborative mindset to the table. I believe in challenging assumptions, communicating clearly across diverse audiences, and designing systems that work not just on paper, but out in the field.
